Old Flat State Forest

The Old Flat State Forest is 320 acres of highland meadows and upland forest with species typical of the northeastern US. It is located near the summit of Mount Rogers in Grayson county near the village of Whitetop, VA. The property borders a private Christmas tree farm, the United Sates Forest Service and the Grayson Highlands State Park. Old Flat was acquired by the Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) to provide a site for a second cycle Fraser fir seed orchard and research opportunities for high elevation tree species. The property will be jointly managed by the Mount Rogers Area Christmas Tree Growers Association and the DOF.
